Catex
DEXes · Unichain, Polygon

DyorSwap AMM
DEXes · X Layer, Stable, Ink +10
DyorSwap AMM is a multi-chain decentralized exchange with a native DYOR token and locked-token rewards for liquidity providers. Liquidity is modest and no audits are listed, so treat it as a higher-risk venue.

DackieSwap V2
DEXes · Base, X Layer, Optimism +8
DackieSwap V2 is a multichain decentralized exchange that markets itself as a meta aggregator of aggregators. Its tracked liquidity is very small and no audits are listed, so treat it as a small, higher-risk venue.

Bunni
DEXes · Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism +3
Bunni was a decentralized exchange built on Uniswap v4 that aimed to earn more for liquidity providers through automated position management. It shut down in October 2025 after an $8.4 million exploit left the team without the resources to recover.
